My turn, as Talos, in the Times Literary Supplement today (28.10.16) with what should be quite an accessible puzzle for any non-TLS solvers who want to give it a try for the first time.​The puzzle can be found in the publication and is also available to solve for those with a Times Online membership in the Crossword Club.

​If you've never given a TLS puzzle a go before then why not give it a try? If you want to know more about the puzzles and their workings, then a great place to start is the excellent Times for the Times website. There you will find all the Times puzzles parsed and commented on, but also the TLS ones (as they are prizes, the blog goes up 3 weeks after publication, but is posted every Friday).

I hope you enjoy the solve and look forward to saying hello to anyone who is going to the York sloggers and betters this weekend.​​Harry
